Abstract

San Xiao Lun is a posthumous manuscript by Liu Wansu. It discussed the etiology, pathogenesis and therapeutic principles of diabetes with special prescriptions for it. Most references in this book came from the works of Liu Wansu himself and some of them came from the works of other sources, such as The Internal Cannon of Medicine. It can be seen that it was a book with Liu Wansu's rethinking and summerising about diabetes after he completed his other works. San Xiao Lun was first published in Ru Men Shi Qin in the Jin Dynasty. It was also cited by Yi Fang Lei Ju in Korea in 1445. It was fully recorded and published in Ru Men Shi Qin in the Wanli Period in the Ming Dynasty and therefore, became the basic version of the current one. After that, it envolved into Si Ku Quan Shu. In the end of the Qing Dynasty, this book was published independently with the comments by Zhou Xuehai, being one of the books in the Zhous' Series Medical Books(Zhou Shi Yi Xue Cong Shu).

《三消论》为刘完素的遗稿,主要探讨了消渴病的病因病机、治疗原则,选录了专治消渴的方剂。书中引用文献多来自其本人著作,有部分来自于《内经》等前人著作,当是刘完素在其他著作完成之后又对消渴病进行的思考总结之作。《三消论》最早被附于金代刊行的《儒门事亲》中,朝鲜的《医方类聚》(1445)有引录,明万历二十九年(1601)刊行的《儒门事亲》全文录入,此为国内通行本之基础,后被《四库全书》录入。清代末期,周学海将通行本加上按语单独成书,纳入《周氏医学丛书》中,又有单行本刊行。.
